Let’s talk about our famous Pringles tubes.
They’re iconic, and now they are going paper based, thanks to a new paper bottom!
The new 90% paper tube protects the chips and preserves their flavour – so they’re as fresh as the day they were made! Our tubes can also be closed again with the lid to ensure the chips stay fresh after opening.
The new paper bottom makes it possible for the tube to be recycled in the paper stream of the waste-sorting facility**.
Make sure to toss your tube and lid in the correct recycling streams, and the seal with residual waste, but only after you’ve enjoyed every single Pringles chip!
**Majority of the tube’s paper content can be recycled. Check locally for instructions!
As of 1st October 2025, Pringles 40g and 70g tubes with a metal bottom will no longer be accepted through TerraCycle drop-off points or Bring Banks due to a change in UK recycling collections. While these smaller tubes aren’t currently widely recyclable, we’re actively working on more sustainable solutions to ensure they are. This is all part of our commitment to reducing waste and making snacking more sustainable — one tube at a time.
